Yesterday my husband bought a shake from Burger King. On the side of the cup advertisement it says, "Have it Your Way" - "Maybe you want a lot of ice. Maybe you want no ice. Maybe you want your top securely fastened, or maybe you want to go topless. Hmmm?...."
Well, "topless" indicates "without a top."
It can apply to a convertible, to a person, or even (as is clear from the context of the original post) to a cup.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's kind of along the same lines, what's considered obscenity and what's not.
Aaaaaaaargh!
You don't get it. We're not laughing at the joke. We're laughing at you.
Well, we'll just keep looking until we find one. Sometimes the interviews are entertaining.
"What do you see?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario. What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture."

(sorry if this is an inappropriate post (hit the abuse button)... i see dolphins what's the matter :-)
Like tallhappy said, It's representative of the hypersexualization that's taken place in media and advertising. It is well debatable whether or not to be "upset".
Well, I agree that is was indeed a stupid thing to say and Burger King needs to seriously rethink this motto.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Always be careful what you wish for. |
Of all the things one might be upset about this ranks about last.
They are making a double entendre. But, we can't put Randy Johnson in jail, can we?
Sounds like you got your panties in a wad.
you're the one doubting whether some that DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT WHAT'S ON A CUP have ever been around a "real woman".
and no, 300 LB women don't count either.
That cracks me up.
Not as sophisticated as a double entendre about "topless" -- how clever -- giggle giggle, though.
Sounds like you got your panties in a wad. What's the big deal? No sense of humor?
Look, there are two types, those laughing about it and those like you with their panties in a wad.
Okee doke!!
